Its been a long time since I posted a chapter to Literotica, and I apologize. Life kicked me in the teeth, and when I dragged myself up it kicked me again, and then again, and again, and again. I kept writing, but it reflected my state of being, which was dark. Maybe one day I'll publish The Fourth Horseman. Its rough but I did come to love the characters. I...
This story is dedicated in all honor and respect to the fine men (and women) of our armed forces, and to the families who wait and watch - and to two men in particular with my personal love, honor and respect - N.C.I.S. Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (who this character is NOT but who inspired a great deal of this story) and to the love of my life...who kn...
It was late and I was tired. I had spent the night in watching movies and doing little else. I had the night off from my job as a waiter and my girlfriend was having a girls' night with her friends. I took the opportunity to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. It was about 9:30 or so when my phone rang. It was Rae. I hadn't heard from her since the aftern...
One week had passed since Rae, Chris, Rob, Tom, Carla and Bret had been together in The Room. Then another two weeks went by. Oddly, no one had heard a word from Rob or Carrie during the time. Rob did not shown up for work, but early on sent a voice mail saying he was taking a small vacation. None of the girls heard from Carrie, and that never happened. Norm...
I got up late, worked till noon. There are always things to monitor and manage when you have wide interests. I worked to distract myself from the conundrum that was Eve. I couldn't really tell if I was in the garden before or after I ate of the tree of knowledge. I knew that Eve had signed the contract and then repudiated it so I was in a pickle. I had to fi...
Tony's Four in the afternoon already. Rae knew Killian was annoyed. He'd been forced to sit in on a conference call with the other partners, and it lasted for well over an hour. After that one fire after another needed to be put out, and he ended up spending the majority of the day on his phone. Those moments when he interacted with her, his expression woul...
Author's Note: This is the third chapter, so you may want to read the first and second before reading this story. Thank you to my readers, I hope I didn't make you wait too long! As always, please vote, comment, and/or send feedback. Thank you for reading! --- Gabe woke to Raine trying to slip out of bed unnoticed. His arm reached out to circle her waist...
The Offer "Good morning. Thank you for calling The Hillcrest, this is Rae, how may I help you?" Killian shifted in his chair, his body stirring. Her voice on the phone was softer, silkier, dripping with sultry invitation. And she knew it. "Hello Rae, how was your Christmas?" "Wonderful Mr. Laird, thank you. How was Texas?" He smiled, they hadn't discus...
Renee had never been one of those girls who dreamed of babies and small children running around -- all she ever pictured for her future was a successful career and a beautiful studio apartment in a high rise loft in downtown Denver with a beautiful view of the mountains. She had all of that, a successful career as an accountant for a CPA firm with a bright f...
I'm rarely surprised by movies anymore. Most of the ones I count as good are still only mediocre and mildly entertaining. Rarely these days does a film really move me, take me out of myself, and leave me wanting to rewind it and watch it again. (And just as an aside: I miss hitting rewind on VCR tapes. Yet another thing to hate about DVDs, aside from all the...
